Coffeeco Upcycle, based in Patras, Greece, has successfully raised €715,000 in its €1M seed funding round, led by VDK Capital. Founded in 2021, the company focuses on converting coffee waste into valuable products like skincare and bioplastics. With a monthly collection of over 10 tons of spent coffee grounds, Coffeeco creates high-performance, minimalist skincare sold under the Auraskin brand in numerous locations, including coffee shops across Europe and the U.S. This innovative approach not only promotes sustainability but also offers a unique skincare experience that respects the skin's ecosystem.
Our upcycled extract has shown exceptional microbiome-enhancing capacity. That's where the real differentiation lies. It's not just about being natural or sustainable-it's about offering high-performance skincare that respects the skin's ecosystem while closing the loop on waste.
Coffeeco has a simple idea: coffee waste can be a valuable resource. The company takes used coffee grounds and extracts antioxidant-rich components to create functional, minimalist skincare products.
